very deceiving, especially if they are taken indoors under artificial lighting. As babies, anerys have no browns or reds. Most do develop browns as they mature. Without seeing the photo, I'm guessing the color is off. If the boa was older, you may see the boa "browning out". There are also Type II anery Central American boas that tend to keep away the browns. Type I anerys are much more common. The easiest way to spot anerys is in the tail. Tail saddles will be grey or lavender with dark black outlines. Below are pics of anerys. The first and last photos are Type I Colombian anerys. The second photo is a Longicauda anery.
